About the blogger

Bob Collins has been with Minnesota Public Radio since 1992, emigrating to Minnesota from Massachusetts. He was senior editor of news in the ’90s, ran MPR’s political unit, created the MPR News regional website, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day laments that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.

NewsCut is a blog featuring observations about the news. It provides a forum for an online discussion and debate about events that might not typically make the front page. NewsCut posts are not news stories.

Nope. Two were vacant because, presumably, people were off at work. Only two of the spaces were sold.

Let’s say you buy a car for $100,000 and that it cost $10,000 a year to own it (I have no idea if that is how much taxes, gas, etc. would be). After 10 years you’ve spent $200,000. That leaves $360,000 to pay someone $36,000 a year to be your personal valet. I don’t think this was a wise purchase buy the winner. How will they be able to sell them and not loose money?

Oops. Just realized my numbers should have been for two cars. Never mind. The person who bought them is a financial genius (which is probably why they have so much money in the first place!)
